This week we're taking a peek at the work of an artist I have known for... oh my... probably 30+ years? Terry Flippo and I used to be in a small press comics co-op called the United Fanzine Organization (UFO). I joined the UFO in the mid-90s and was a member until probably the early 2000s. Terry was in there as well but I cannot remember if he was already there or joined after me. It doesn't matter. Terry is awesome.
His most well-known venture is a comic called Axel n Alex, a comic about a kid (Alex) and his big robot friend (Axel) and their adventures together. He's been doing AnA stuff since the 90s, off and on. I have one of his softcover collections on my shelf somewhere, but primarily I remember his small press digest zines.
One of his current projects is a series of single panel comics called "The Marbels", which are kind of spoofs of Marvel Comics characters. Very fun stuff.
Terry's work is wholesome. He does good work that is good-natured. The world needs what he does. His style is cartoony and precise, leaning into pens more than brushes. He can produce the simplest of pieces or very detailed and complex works as well.
